Walter Gropius was a building advisor for the Police Headquarters
in Berlin. He married Manon Auguste Pauline Scharnweber (1855-1933).
Their third son was the famous Bauhaus architect with the same
name. The grave of Walter Gropius the Elder was moved to Stahnsdorf because of the clearing of cemeteries in Berlin by the nazi's to make way for the new 'Germania' that was never built. Sources • Gottschalk, Wolfgang, Südwestfriedhof Stahnsdorf, Verlag Dirk Nishen, Berlin, 1991 |
